Experts Answer Questions on Alzheimer's
To mark the first anniversary since the founding of the Tzipporah
Fried Alzheimer's Support Center, a panel of top experts gathered to
respond to questions posed by patients' family members regarding
strategies to cope with the disease on a day-to-day basis. The panel
was part of a professional workshop held this week.
Founded by Ezer Mizion, the center meets the unique needs of chareidi
families with an Alzheimer's patient — needs previously unmet by
mainstream community services. The center's workers are constantly
busy since Alzheimer's disease affects the entire family and requires
specialized assistance. Patients suffer from both medical problems and
functional disabilities and in these situations the family is very in
need of support, assistance and information. They find the Tzipporah
Fried Center to be a point of light in their lives, providing support
and assistance as well as personalized consulting in accordance with
the chareidi public's unique needs, maintaining full confidentiality
and without payment.
